Hi

Does anybody know what kind of errors might occur if you use a ultrasonic distance measuring sensor inside the body?

Especially in laparoscopic surgery (CO2-gas)

Mainly does the tissue absorb the waves or something like that or directly reflect it when hitting the surface?

Hope someone can help me

Thx in advance

Jay
 
another thing,

which frequency is suitable for not damaging the tissue?
